As shown in fig. 1-4, the present invention provides a liquid storage device 100 comprising a container 50, an upper cover 40, a dispensing tap 60, a gas canister 70, and a gas canister sleeve 80, the container 50 comprising an interior space 51 and an upper opening 52.

The upper cover 40 is provided with an adjustment knob 1, and the air pressure in the internal space 51 of the container 50 can be adjusted by turning the adjustment knob 1 to open or close the air valve of the air tank 70.

Preferably, the vessel 50 comprises a double-walled structure comprising a vacuum space 53 defined between an outer wall 55 of the vessel and an inner wall 56 of the vessel. The container 50 has a protrusion 54 at the bottom thereof to facilitate the vacuum insulation process.

FIG. 5 is an exploded view of a container of the liquid storage device of the present application; fig. 6 is an assembly schematic diagram of the upper cover body, the gas tank, and the gas tank sleeve; fig. 7 is a sectional view taken along the direction B-B of fig. 6. As shown in fig. 4-6, the gas cylinder 70 is at least partially housed within a cylinder sleeve 80. The gas tank 70 stores compressed gas therein. In some embodiments, the gas cylinder sleeve 80 is provided as an integral part, and the gas cylinder sleeve 80 includes an end portion 81 and a sleeve body 82. The end portion 81 is fixed to the upper cover 40, specifically, to the connection portion 17 of the upper cover 40; when the gas cylinder sleeve 80 is mechanically attached to the connection portion 17 of the upper cover body 40, the sleeve main body 82 extends from the upper cover body 40 in the container bottom direction; when the upper cover body 40 is covered in the container (as shown in fig. 7), the gas tank 70 is further housed in a gas tank sleeve 80, the gas tank sleeve 80 being within the inner space 41 of the container 40.

The upper cover 40 is disposed over the upper opening 54 of the container 50, and the dispensing tap 60 is led out from one side of the upper cover 40 and is connected to the conduit 18 in the upper cover 40, and the conduit 18 extends into the bottom of the container 50. The adjustment knob 1, which is arranged opposite to the dispensing tap 60, is more intuitive and more direct to use. The use of the conduit 18 allows the liquid in the tank to be discharged more thoroughly, reducing residue and avoiding waste. In the related art, since the liquid in the container is forced to flow into the dispensing tap by air pressure without providing a conduit, the adjustment of the pressure in the container is more demanding and cumbersome. The application uses the pipe, and is simpler easy-to-use. The conduit 18, which is embodied as a stainless steel straw, is secured at the interface of the dispensing tap 60 and the upper opening 54, and by a clearance fit, the conduit 18 is directly clamped in a hole at the interface of the dispensing tap 60 and the upper opening 54, and the conduit 18 functions to draw liquid from the container 50 to the dispensing tap 60 when a positive pressure (carbon dioxide) is present in the container 50.

The upper cover 40 also includes a pressure gauge 19 with a dial. A pressure gauge 19 is used to indicate the pressure in the inner space.

As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the upper cover 40 further includes a housing 20 and a mounting portion 30 disposed inside the housing 20, and a groove 21 is formed between the mounting portion 30 and the housing 20. The housing 20 is annular in shape to accommodate the shape of the upper opening 54 of the container 50. The housing 20 has a plurality of notches 22 for use as handles to facilitate lifting of the fluid storage device 100. FIG. 8 is a partial view of the upper cover of the liquid storage apparatus according to the present invention;

in FIG. 8, the housing 20 is provided with a drain hole 23 as shown in FIG. 8, and the conduit 18 is connected to the dispensing tap 60 through the drain hole 23.

FIG. 9 is an exploded view showing the structure of an upper cover part of the liquid storage apparatus of the present application. The adjusting knob 1 is disposed at a side of the mounting portion 30, and the pressure gauge 19 is fixed at a top surface of the mounting portion 30. As shown in fig. 9, the upper cover 40 further includes, in a direction from the adjustment knob 1 toward the inside of the mounting portion 30, a first fixing nut 2, a torsion bar 3, a first spring 4, an ejector block 5, a second fixing nut 6, a seal piece 7, a first ejector 8, a guide post 9, a seal 10, a slider 11, a second spring 12, a valve rod 13, a third spring 14, a third fixing nut 15, a fixing member 16, and a connecting portion 17.

When the torsion bar 3 is installed, the torsion bar passes through the first fixing nut 2 and is connected with the adjusting knob 1; the first spring 4 is connected between the torsion bar 3 and the top block 5; the sealing element 7 is pressed between the second fixing nut 6 and the guide post 8; the lower part of the top block 5 passes through a middle hole of a second fixing nut 6 and is pressed on the surface of the sealing sheet 7; the ejector rod 8 passes through the guide column 9, the upper part of the ejector rod 8 is connected with the sealing sheet 7, and the lower part of the ejector rod 8 is connected with the sliding block 11; the sealing element 10 is pressed in the inner groove of the sliding block 11 and is connected with the lower part of the guide post 9; the second spring 12 bears against the slider 11. The guide post 9 is fixedly arranged in the mounting part 30 and plays a role in guiding and limiting the movement of the mandril 8. The side of the second spring 12 away from the slider 11 is also fixed against the inner housing of the mounting portion 30.

The valve of the gas valve 70 is actually a gas passage or a gas cut-off formed by the three parts of the sliding block 11, the sealing member 10 and the guide post 9.

When the valve is in work, the second spring 12 acts on the sliding block 11, the sliding block 11 is connected with the guide post 9 through the sealing piece 10, and the valve is closed; at this time, the slider 11 contacts the sealing member 10, so that the sealing member 10 is deformed to perform a sealing function, and the valve is closed. The adjusting knob 1 is twisted, and the torsion bar 3 descends due to the thread action of the first fixing nut 2 and the torsion bar 3 to extrude the first spring 4; due to the action of the spring force, the top block 5 moves downwards to press the sealing sheet 7; the sealing sheet 7 presses the ejector rod 8 to move downwards to push the sliding block 11 and open the air valve; since the slider 11 is no longer pressed against the seal 10 and does not come into contact with the seal, the gas passage is opened. When the sum of the pressure in the guide post 9 and the elastic force of the second spring 12 is larger than the elastic pressure of the first spring 4, the ejector block 5, the ejector rod 8 and the sliding block 11 are reset, and the air valve is closed.

The fixing piece 16 is embedded between the connecting part 17 of the upper cover body 40 and the mounting part 30, and the fixing piece 16 can burst the air valve to conduct air guide; specifically, the upper cover 40 is made of plastic. Under the cooperation of the valve rod 13, the third spring 14 and the third fixing nut 15, the fixing piece 16 moves to burst the air valve.

The connecting portion 17 is connected to the fixing member 16, and the upper cover 40 is connected to the gas cylinder body 80 through the connecting portion 17. Specifically, the connection portion 17 may be a third fixing nut that is screwed to the gas tank liner 80.

The adjustment knob 1 is used to adjust the pressure applied to the liquid in the inner space 51.

In the liquid storage device 100, the air tank 70 is arranged in the container 50, and the air valve of the air tank 70 is opened or closed through the rotation motion of the adjusting knob 1, so that the air pressure in the container 50 can be adjusted; moreover, the dispensing tap 60 is led out from one side of the upper cover body, so that the liquid can be dispensed more conveniently and simply, and the liquid storage device 100 provided by the embodiment has the advantages of small volume, integrated functions and cost saving.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, not so limiting the patent scope of the present invention, all of which are in the utility model discloses a conceive, utilize the equivalent structure transform that the content of the specification and the attached drawings did, or directly/indirectly use all to include in other relevant technical fields the patent protection scope of the present invention.
